Loneliness sits silently Too often tinged with sadness Wafting through one’s heart Waiting for no-one in particular Filling one’s soul with curiosity Wondering why It never quite goes away A movie or a book Beautiful music Amongst a throbbing crowd Or all alone There is no difference When loneliness and sadness Sneaks in Nothing takes it away Not quite…
